First trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is as mind-blowing as we’d hoped

There’s been a disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fans cried out in unison, celebrating the release of the first Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer!

“Breathe. Just breathe.” Luke’s line, the first spoken in the trailer, couldn’t be more appropriate. This is, after all, the most anticipated film of 2018!

Okay, so we’ve known it was coming all week, but that didn’t dampen our excitement in the slightest. Disney and Marvel made it very clear that the first peek at the Last Jedi would cap their biennial Star Wars Celebration, a massive fan event used to bring fans and stars together to discuss, promote, and enjoy the most successful scifi franchises in history.

This is just a teaser trailer, so its offering isn’t over-the-top, but nonetheless offers fans a glimpse into the struggle between the Resistance and the First Order interspersed with Rey’s training alongside Luke Skywalker. (And, all things considered, it offers much more information than the film’s current synopsis: “The further adventures of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Rey.”)

So, was it everything you’d hoped for and more? It was for us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the eighth installment in the Star Wars film franchise, is set to hit theaters on December 15th, 2017!
